Postcard 1944 Translation Help
Re: Postcard 1944 Translation Help
This postcard is written by a son to his parents. I can't decipher all of it.
Dear parents-
A little delayed but I know you would be anxious about me writing. I am always well and still at the same location. I move about well enough. As you know, I am (a) civilian. Therefore I change addresses indicated in the ? I hope nothing is wrong in the family. Any news?
I'm having trouble understanding what is on the other side of the postcard.
The return address
Venendorf, Kere(?)
Osbruk-maybe Osnabruck???
The postcard itself is printed in German.
It ends-
Greetings and kisses
Then the word for "son" followed by either the name Pietro, which appears in the return address, or the beginning part of the name, which may be his nickname.
I hope this helps. There is really nothing in the postcard of genealogical value.

Re: Postcard 1944 Translation Help
Thank You a lot!
I assume the postcard was sent by forced laborer from Germany.
I think the adress is:
M.G(...) Pietro
Anna (...)
Neuendorf Kreis
Lick Osprugia(?)
(Germania)
Neuendorf is a village near to Lyck. That is why I think "Lick" is a spelling mistake for "Lyck" and Osprugia is spelling mistake for "Ostpreussen" in English East Prussia.
Once again, thank you a lot.

I appreciate your input. I should have clarified that I could decipher the handwriting but just didn't understand what it meant in English. Does it mean-refresh my memory (remind me), did they write Guido Bati? (Bati is a surname, and may be Guido's last name in this postcard, although I realize it is not a surname in Borno). Also I have no idea who "they" would be referring to in the word "scrivono." (they write). Can you help with the English translation of this section of the postcard? Thanks.

Re: Postcard 1944 Translation Help
Sorry to ressurect and old post.
I came across this page via Google search for Gheza Pietro Borno Italy.
My grandfather, Peter Fontana's sister was Mary Fontana.
Mary married Antonio Gheza of Borno, son of Pietro Gheza and Catarina Arici.
Antonio and Mary had several children (14) including a son, Pietro (27.12.1936 - 27.10.2006)
Just wondering if this means anything to the original poster. Gheza is more common than Fontana in Northern Italy.
Merry Christmas
